Hey everybody. So today, I am playing a game, when I go to CPU-Z and it tells me my hard drrive is on fire. 
. I realized that my case was under the desk, and was getting a little toasty (built in corner desk = bad, but now I have a fan circulating the air out of it).
Here is a pic, just for referece, here is the pic of my case
The bottom HD is the raptor.
So, with an ambient of about 80F outside the case, and 90F between the two hard drives. I just booted into windows and the hard drive is 48C! =(
Any ideas? I don't think its due to a dead spot in the air, as the hard drive has always been the hottest part of my system (but I just didn't do anything till CPU-Z showed the fire icon), even when I just turn it on after a long rest. Do raptors just naturally run this hot? I am concerned because WD's specs say operating temp of something to 55c...
